- The Scolt Head

Taken over by siblings Richard Haines and Rosie Wesemann in late 2006, the pub has been revitalised – in a good way.

We wanted the Scolt Head to remain a pub first and foremost, serving excellent food without becoming another soulless gastro bar, and we hope we’ve achieved it.

Come and eat, drink, watch big screen sports, listen to live music, or join our pub quiz, all at The SCOLT HEAD.

The honey-roasted walnuts with juicy strips of beetroot and crumbling goat's cheese salad (£5) has a thick, sweet vinaigrette, though it is outdone by the superb, warm balsamic pigeon and bacon salad.

A disgraceful lack of vegetarian main options on my first visit is corrected to the tune of one lonely dish the second time, but as it happens, the four of us are meat-eaters anyway.

The pan-fried sea bass with crushed potatoes, beans and caper butter (£12) is excellent, the fish given a tough, crispy skin against a muscular body; while the roast beef with roast potatoes, carrots, greens, Yorkshire pudding, horseradish and gravy (£13.50) is less distinguished from ordinary pub fare, though not bad at all.

Scores: 1-3 stay home and cook, 4 needs help, 5 does the job, 6 flashes of promise, 7 good, 8 special, can't wait to go back, 9-10 as good as it gets The Scolt Head, 107A Culford Road, London N1, tel: 020 7254 3965.

About £115 for four, including a bottle of wine Brave the dodgy location (and the Prince Harry-style clientele) and this very friendly gastropub will reward you with some delicious food It may look like an old man's boozer, but the first-floor dining-room has a wonderful location overlooking the sea, and makes impressive use of good local produce, especially fish On a single-track road miles from anywhere, this friendly inn is worth a long drive.

One such is The Scolt Head, appropriately named after an island in Norfolk.

As the owners say, good food is served but it remains a pub, first-and-foremost.

The beer and wine choice is a wee bit limited, with three ales draught and a smallish wine list, but it's all good stuff.

If the weather's cooperating, there's also a wedge-shaped beer garden in which to enjoy your nibbles and tipples.

They wanted the Scolt Head to remain a pub first and foremost, serving excellent food without becoming another soulless gastro bar.

You can eat, drink, watch big screen sports, play pool, listen to live music, or join the Monday night quiz, all at The Scolt Head.

The Scolt Head kitchen excels in fresh and excellently sourced produce.

The menu changes regularly, favouring small, independent suppliers and seasonal produce.

There is also a choice selection of real ales, and a wine list that has been selected to match the seasonal menu.

Duke's Brew and Que, 33 Downham Road, N1 5AA, dukesbrewandque.com   A Little of What you Fancy Deliberately lacking in signage, this hipster hangout on the Kingsland Road between Haggerston and Dalston Junction stations does a mean artichoke heart on pan con tomate with lemon and caper butter, when they remember to serve it with lemon and caper butter, that is.

Review analysis
food  

A wholly unscientific survey suggests that more than half the pubs in De Beauvoir Town and nearby London Fields now have ambitions and/or pretensions towards gastropub status; even the boozy Prince George, a holdout for years, has succumbed and installed a kitchen.

However, this cheery, capacious and altogether likeable corner pub was thriving on the Sunday lunchtime we visited.

The kitchen understands its limits: four starters and four mains constituted a reassuringly short menu, even if not everything excelled.

The lively flavours in a spiced carrot soup outshone the rather thin texture, and a small starter of barbecue ribs was too dry for comfort.

Still, a Sunday roast anchored by tender lamb shoulder was very decent, while a pumpkin and mixed cheese strudel was, as they say, a good bake.
